After All Is Said About Heroism,
All Agree Infantry Did the 1
'
Work, Says Writer, |
By JOHN M'HUGH STUART, ‘
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
PARIS (by mail).—lt's still the
doughboys’ war. As in the days of
Alexander’'s phalanx and Caesar's le
gion and the days of Napoleon and
Grant, it was the infantryman, the
ameriean infantryman in the ranks,
the “doughboys,” who cieaned out the
Germans. |
Officers and men are beginning to
drift Into Paris in casual numbers on
thetr way to and from schools or
bospitals. They don't get any real
deaves In Paris, but by a special dis
pensation of Providence the French
raflways center in the capital and ra- ‘
dtate therefrom and with a grin of joy
the Amaerican officer and soldier has
larned that to carry out an order,
bringing him from almost any part of
France to almost any other part of
France he passes through Paris. He
ts allowed 24 hours for, the change.
Nowadays he is availing himself of
the change to gather in the places
where Americans do gather and in;
the immortal phrase of the doughboy
from Missouri proceed to “outlie the
o AR |
BEach man thinks his own division
is the best in the army, barring a|
little hard luck. There is also one
other division which he generally
thinks is the worst. He freely ex
presses his opinions of the defects
of the staffs, the artillery, the ma
chine guns, the aviation
But there is one subject that seems
to be sacrosanct. There is one arm
of the service that everyvone admits
did its duty up to the hilt. That is
the rank and file of the infantry.
The staff, the artillery, the aviation,
the machine gun battalions all admit
this, no matte what hard things the
infantry may have to sav about them
Some of the “Knocks.”
A crovd in which captains, second
lientonants, . eyven one major, and a

A tlin phase of the Argonne fight-
T n a favorite rendezvous in Paris
re evening recently
“"""hy.” said one, “th’ artillery went
. They scattered that barrage
' ayver Eastern France—and us.'
Vauh™ drawled another: “they tell
that the division's staff was
ving round in circles--that was
he real trouble was.”
™ell. all T know is that Jerrv's
s were coming over in socks
a" ' givin' us hell,” remarked another
iwan, vour darned o!d machine
run battalion was shootin’ straight
into the hill in front of 'em instead
of into the Germans on the other
side”
“Yeah, mebbe, mebbe,” replied the
machine gunner. *“But, say, them
doughboys of the —th walked through
it .all like they was goin' coon hunt
in". They walked right up and kicked
them Germans in the face™
That is merely typical of handreds
of like discussions that go on here
every day. The doughboy can do no
wrong. It is the testimony not only
of the Yanks themselves, but of their
French instructors——yes, even of their
German opponents. {
T heard recently of a green replace
ment party that got sent up to the
front line. It was sent up through
one of those mistakes that gave Ten
nygon a chance to make Balaklava
fmmeortal. These men arrived at the
front line very raw. One man actual
ly killed himself with his own rifle
But that green replacement detach
ment walked through a barrage of
artillery and machine-gun fire and
wiped out with the havonet one of the |
nastiest machine gun nests in the
whole Argonne region ‘
That is an extreme incident, but it
tells the story And the doughboy
does more than fight I
Many a time has a general's hig|
Mmousine heen lifted out of the mud |
of a shelled roadside-—by the dough

*They tell me vour medical corn

; By HON. ROBERT LANSING.
| Secretary of State of the United Stat es and President of the Peace Confer
; ence Committee That is to Fix Responsibility for the War.
! We shaill go no further than (o as
] sume that a universal peace, interna
| tionally just, will usher in a rew era
tand a new phase of civilizition, 10
which we will have to conform our

'nlsubk- influences which thosa ,ears
of conflist havé brought sorta and
|whlch will materially affect the social
order. i
The period of readjustment and
restoration which must now follow
the disorganization and destruction
caused by the war will tax human
wisdom to the uttermost. |
In a conflict so widespread as to
involve the whole earth, in a conflict
'which has compelled the mobiliza
tion of all the manhood and re
sources of the nations, which requi-ed
the expenditure of wealth fabulous
beyond comprehension and forced
governments to assume extraordinary
Ipowers over national and individual
! energies, new impulses of human ac
tion have been set in motion, not only
in the political, industrial and com
mercial spheres, but in the structure
of society and in the spiritual life of
mankind.
l Principles To Be Changed.
{ Many of the fundamental prinei
ples of the present social order will
be threatened. some will be changed:
some discarded; while novel and pos
sibly extravagant and dangerous doe-
I trines will find earnest and honest
| advocates. With all this we must
reckon.
After the horrors and the unsheak
able agonies which human ty has en
| dured as a consequence of the old po
{ litical organization of the world, it
| would be unreasonable to exnect the
| peoples who have borne so much to
| accept as a basis of national and in
| ternational order that which previ-
L ously existed. *
{ The status quo ante bellum of so
| ciety, as well as of boundaries and in
| ternational “elations, seems impossi
i ble. This, we believe, must be ac
| cepetd as a necessary premise in de
i veloping a program for the future. We
| do not see how it can be avoid-d; and
| we are not sure that it would be wise
| to avoid it if we could.
| We believe that we must also as
, sume another premise in striving to
| solve the problems which lie before
iuu, It is that the temper of the peo
ples who have engaged in this in
' ternecine struggle will for some time,
! certainly at the immediae moment, be
| impressed with hostility and hatred
for one another,
Material Standards Wrong.
The result of this mental attitude
;wlll make more difficult the estab
lllshmont of an equilibrium between
nations, for it will produce an intem
lpernte basis which will impair jndg
! ment and cause vindictiveness toward
| former enemies unless influential and
sober-minded men resist this natural
feeling and preserve their minds open
jand free so that they will impartially
| weigh the truth and not impute gullt
| to the misguided or the ignorant.
| We know that this is & difficult
{ thing to do, because it is difficult to
| dissociate the instrument of evil from
I!he one who conceives the evil and
i di~ects the instrument.
| But. none the less, sound. common
| sense imposes upon us the duty of
| correcting; so far as we are able, this
! tendency which will, if it continues,
|wmken materially the true spirit of
' justice which is essential to endur
[ Ing peace.
Believing in the brotherhood of
| man, the American people, now that
the war is over, ought not cherish a
pitiless hate for all those who have
served the military dictators of Cen
tral Europe
We shou'd diseriminate between the
fgnorant a 4 the intellizent, hetween
| the responsible and the irresponsible,
| between the masetr and the serf, ‘
{ It seems to us that it is the plain |
!duty of all those who can influence
public opinion teo so guide American
ithnulm that passion will not prevent
i the putting into oreration of a wise

I To the problems which involve po
litieal institutions, industrial and

the recent past, to fear that therol
will be & strong tendency, to apply|
materialistic doctrines to the state
of peace, and we are by no means
sure that these doctrines,.which will
be termed “humanitarian.” will not
find warm supporters among sin
cere Christians, for it scarcely can
be denied that the Christian Church
in later years has been increasingly
disposed to emphasize works rather
than faith.
Unless the eternal priciples of
Christian ideals and percepts be
come a living force in the transfor
mation of the world, the peace which
will be established will not be an en
during peace. |
Materialism is an exaltation of the
physical, Its chief end is earthly
happiness obtained in a large meas
ure through power and possessions,
It is essentially selfish. It even hases
morality and justice indirectly on
selfish interest.
A state of selfishness can hardly
faii to produce ambition and greed,
and the efforts to gratify them.
These are the evils which gave us
militarism and war in the past, and
¢ will they again if they are per
mitted to dominate men and Govern
ments.
Injustice Must Cease.
Materialism as the basic idea of
the new orders of things will revive
those very impulses to do evil which
the world today abhors,
Humanity is not unprepared to re
ceive the great spiritual truths which
should be the foundation of the re
lations between men and between
nutions if we are to have a continu
ing state of peace.
War, with all its appeal to the
primitive instinets of man, has a
measure of compensation in that it
compels men who go forth to battle
to turn their thoughts to that which
lies beyond this life, as they realize
its uncertaimty
And not alone to those who face
danger and sudden death in the serv
ice of their country de these thoughts
come, bhut also to those millions at
home who await with anxious hearts
in fear and in hope for loved ones
on the field of battle,
The life of American has been so
bered by the peril of her sons. The
spirit of the nation is reaching for
ward and upward to the Supreme
Being for strength and counsel
International injustice must cease,
All men must be free from the op
pression of arbitrary power. Unrea
soning class hatreds and class tyran
nies must come to an end. Society
must be organized on principles of
fnstice and liberty.
The world must be ruled by the
dcminant will to do that which is
| right. We =ee no other complete so
! lutions of the great problems, no
|nth:--.- means of destroying forever
| that soulless materialism which
i plunged the nations into these y®ars
of agony,
Debt We Owe the Dead.
There is no time to be lost if this
nation is to be made ready to enter
with the right spirit and the right
'prln(‘lpha upon the task of readjust
ment and reconstruction. There is
no time to be lost, because the day
is here when the spirit of liberty
| stands triumphant above the spirit
+ of militarism,
i To those noble Americans, our
! friends and brothers, those who have
| made the supreme sacrifice, and to
l!honn who have dedicated their lives
to the cause of their country, to the
brave men of the Allied nations who
have so gallantly died that liberty
might live, we owe a debt which
imposes on us the obligation of mak

By ROBERT WELLS RITCHIE,

PARIS (by mail, delayed).-—Cap
tain Jim Buchanan, who used to
be a reporter in New York many
yvears and then took to mining out
in Nevada, now wears two silver
shoulder bars and tops his son in
rank by one grade. Returning from
Rome yesterday, where he had
gone as a military member of Pres
ident Wilson's party, big Jim Buch
anan gathered a circle of sympa
thetie listeners about him at the
Hotel Crillon and poured out the
tale of his great disappointment in
Nome., Said he:
“You remember Fourth of July
when we were lads, and how we
used to dream for week® in ad
vance of the giant firecrackers ana
the ‘nigger chasers’ and all 1
things that went ‘whiz-z-z!" and
showered pretty sparks after we'd
had the Fourth of July ice cream
for supper, and the dark finalily
came on? Well, of all the big
bursts of Fourth of July there was
just one thing that was dearest to
my heart: I'd save my pennies for six
months to lay in a stock of these,
and 1 used to think if I ever could
get to Rome—boy!
“Well, here I've been to Rome and
looked it all over, and not a Roman
candle in the whole blinkety
